Experience
R&D Engineer for Medtronic Neurovascular (Oct 2017-Nov2018)
oWorked as a member of the Released Product Engineering team which deals with designing and developing different test methods for all post-market products (coils, stents, catheters, etc.)
oUtilized engineering knowledge in conducting complaint evaluations while partaking in a cross-functional CAPA team to determine the root cause of a catheter failure and implemented a new hub design to further prevent failures.
oPrepared technical product documentations including multiple electronic change orders (ECO) along with a real-time aging report to validate the shelf-life of one of our revascularization devices
oOversaw production of Engineering Work Orders within manufacturing line and created injection molding design experiments within prototype cleanroom
Protein Chemistry R&D Intern for Epinex Diagnostics Inc. (Nov 2015- Feb 2016)
oLead a team in researching the interaction between glucose and different proteins within the blood along with their individual glycation rates.
oPrepared quantitative analyses along with technical results of our findings.
Intern for the Edwards Lifesciences Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology UCI (June 2014-Sep 2014)
oDesigned different defective heart models in 3-D and performed FEA on how blood flow is affected based on each type of heart defect
oHelped researchers quantify the necessity of heart valve stents and which type of stent is needed for each type of heart defect
Skills
MATLAB programming
oLearned the basic concepts of MATLAB and applied them to different engineering type modules such as signal analysis and quantitative physiology
oUtilized MATLAB toolboxes to solve partial differential equations related to circuits, mechanics, and transport.
Minitab Software
oUtilized Minitab to familiarize self with statistical analyses such as p-test, t-test and ANOVA testing
oDetermine statistical significance of failures during product testing within Medtronic Neurovascular
oCreated a Design of Experiment (DOE) to determine the optimal parameters of an injection molding machine for the creation of catheter hubs
Solidworks Modeling
oAbility to read a mechanical engineering part or assembly drawing.
oTranslate proposed design concepts into 3D CAD models and generate engineering drawings for manufacture
Technical Writing
oAbility to plan, organize, prepare, and deliver effective technical reports in written, oral, and other formats appropriate to the discipline and goals of the program.
oWritten Product Failure Responses, Design Verification Testing protocols, Test Methods, Test Method Validations, and other various reports for Medtronic Neurovascular
Microsoft Office
oProficient in all Office applications (Word, Excel, Visio, etc.)
